A point-to-point endurance journey through Colombia, experienced on foot for multiple days. The expedition begins and ends in boutique resorts, framing three days of sustained running or fast trekking across beautiful and demanding terrain.



This is a women-only departure.
It follows the same route, terrain, and standards as our co-ed Colombia expedition. This limited departure is offered in response to demand, and because this expedition format benefits from a single, sustained group moving together through the route.
Nothing else changes.

One expedition. One shared rhythm.
Each day is defined by long hours on foot across demanding terrain. Movement includes sustained hiking, power hiking, and running, integrated naturally across the route. Participants move together through the landscape, maintaining forward progress over speed. Sustained running is not required.

Movement is the experience.‍
Each day moves through real terrain under your own power. No out-and-backs. No resets. Progress is earned.


Hard by design. Deeply human by nature.
‍Heat, humidity, elevation, and long days create real physical demand. What balances that effort is Colombia itself. The warmth of the people, the rhythm of daily life, and the openness with which communities welcome those who arrive on foot.


Access through relationships, not tourism.‍
Our local Terra Venture team brings participants into places where they live and work. Meals, stays, and encounters unfold naturally because this is home, not an attraction built for visitors.

Comfort used deliberately.
‍Often as contrast, helping mark the transition into and out of sustained effort. The expedition begins and ends in boutique resorts so participants arrive supported, push deeply through the middle, and recover properly.

Remote, responsibly executed.
‍A professional expedition team leads and supports the journey, with thoughtful route design, deep local knowledge, and Overwatch x Rescue oversight allowing access to genuinely remote terrain without compromising judgment or safety.

This is Colombia experienced through effort.
‍An endurance journey shaped by landscape, movement, and human

What balances that effort is Colombia itself. The warmth of the people, the rhythm of daily life, and the openness.
